Solar Storms Could Mean Trouble For Power Grids and Communications Systems

2010-06-10T07:56:00.000-07:00

As with most things in life, the Sun runs in cycles. Sun activity has been dormant for about 11 years, but it is getting ready to go through a period of increased disturbances that could last several years and cause problems to Power Grids, Satellites and Communication Systems.

These solar storms, spewing debris and solar flares can cause a lot of problems here on Earth, affecting power systems and yes, blowing fuses. When this happens, The Fuse Company will be here with fuses you need - when you need them. Give us a call: 800-909-FUSE (3873)

Word Origins - Advice

2010-06-08T12:50:00.000-07:00

Word: Advice

The word Advice has both French and Latin origins. The French saying ce m'est à vis or "it seems to me" evolved into avis. The Latin saying of mi est visum or "in my view" evolved into videre. A combination of the two - advice - was introduced into the English language in the 15th Century. Advice is great. You can ask anyone -- a relative, a friend, a complete stranger -- and usually they will have some on hand to give to you.

"Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn."

Problem is: Not all of the advice out there is actually useful. At The Fuse Company, we specialize in useful advice on fuses and fuse technology. So, whether you're a homeowner looking for an SC15 fuse to get your hot tub running, an HVAC technican looking for an RK5 to get a compressor up and running or just someone who does not know what you looking for, but know you need a fuse, The Fuse Company has the advice and expertise to get you the right fuse when you need it. Give us a call 800-909-FUSE (3873)

The fuses associated with Solar applications generally require a higher DC voltage rated fuse than traditional power and energy systems. The Fuse Company has Solar PV Fuses, DCT, SPF, DCM, KLKD, ATM, KWNR, KWSR, KLNR, KLSR, A2K(amp)R, and A6K(amp)R fuses. These fuses are suitable for the wide variety of Solar Applications being introduced today, including sensitive Photvoltaic systems.

April Showers Bring May Flowers and Thunderstorms

Along with those beautiful May flowers, April also brings the start of Thunderstorm season. While thunderstorms can occur any time of the year, summertime is generally considered Thunderstorm Season.
